It’s great fun to run around and do stuff on the weekends. But come Monday morning sitting at your desk in the office, it feels like you never left. I’m not sure if three-day weekends would be the solution, or maybe better time management? Going to bed at a decent hour might be a start. I have this funny thing about Sunday nights - I always stay up too late. It’s as if I’m trying to eke out every minute I can before starting the weekly grind at work. It’s a strange subliminal sort of compulsion. It can take the shape of Warcrafting, internet browsing, or puttering about the house doing things like laundry. I’ll check the kids - turn their lights off, turn their radios down, pull their blankets over their toes. I’ll check the cats - find them, let them in, let them out, fill their food and water bowls.

It’s as if I’m putting off the event of Monday’s arrival.
